Pros: Records high-res Super VHS signals on standard VHS tapes! Has DIGITAL VIDEO noise reduction!
Cons: Non-VCR+ mode is slow-to-program; CA & MA omitted unlike previous editions.
The Bottom Line: With prices at $250, a fantastic deal! Soon, there won't be any NTSC standard VCRs of this caliber when High-Def is all the rage. Get one NOW, quickly!

| mikedoyle's Full Review: JVC HR-S7800 VCR |
Even in this age of DVD, JVC proves that a VCR can still be a high-performance video & audio source, too. Their HR-S7800 lets you enjoy Super VHS's superior picture quality (60% sharper than standard VHS) both for playback and editing. JVC's Super VHS ET technology allows you to record superior high frequency Super VHS video on regular VHS tapes, which are more affordable and much more available than S-VHS tapes. But the HR-S7800 also does a great job with regular VHS recordings. Its Digital R3 circuitry will clean up the look of all your tapes, both for viewing and dubbing. With time base correction to remove jerkiness from the video signal, a digital comb filter to reduce dot-crawl, and a 2MB frame memory, this deck offers crisp image edges and clear color separation without bleeding. With all this advanced technology the HR-S7800 is still very user-friendly. VCR Plus+ with cable box/DBS timer control, Plug & Play auto clock and channel setting, and Auto SP/EP Timer Recording (the VCR automatically switches from SP to EP if it senses that the recording will run over). These are just some of the features that make everyday recording and viewing a breeze. Summary of Key Features: Digital R3 Video noise reduction circuitry with 2MB frame memory; Super VHS and VHS record/play on both Super VHS AND regular VHS tapes (high grade recommend); Super VHS-ET - Record Super VHS quality on standard VHS tapes; HiFi stereo record and playback; 4 video playback heads; a flying erase head for clean edits; insert editing; audio dubbing; 8-event/1-year program timer; VCR Plus+; cable box/DBS timer control; multi-brand remote; jog-shuttle control on unit; front-panel A/V inputs with S-video; auto clock & channel set; 181-channel tuner; 30-minute memory backup; AV Compu-Link; 30-second skip search; Auto SP to EP recording; preserves and records existing Dolby Pro Logic surround sound audio encoding for use in home theater systems; on-screen multilingual menus (English, French, or Spanish); Warranty: 1 year parts & 90 days labor on new units. Dimensions: 15-3/4"W x 3-3/4"H x 12"D.
